Pterodictya reticulata fulgoridae
Distinguished by waxy "tail" which when broken regrows. These large leafhoppers and very distinctive. Note the lacy wings of this species.
Jungles of Amazonian basin in Peru. This specimen was spotted close to Laguna Quistococha near Iquitos, Peru.
Possibly my favourite insect of the Amazon.

Great find!
